In my new office, every morning I am greeted with the clattering of heels.

It is really starting to give me an inferiority complex. Being surrounded by all these mini giraffes, with their perfectly coffed hair and skirts that accentcuate their perky bottoms will make anyone green with envy.

(Guys, you can stop drooling now)

I am unsure if it is their powersuits or my own lacking in the departments they have down to a tee, I tend to feel really tiny each time.

Each morning, I have a strong resolve to change my predicament.  Tho by nightfall it becomes nothing more than a distant memory only to reappear the next day.

Such is my lack of life.

As I took the escalator up, I had a slight spring in my step. My eyes just so happened to catch the crawler on the screen at the top. I stumbled and almost fell down the escalator.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. For a while my only thought was that I had seen the quick moving text wrongly. For some strange reason, I text the person I was talking to about breakfast that Pavarotti had passed away.

Most people would find it odd that someone like me would be slightly concern about his passing. But he holds a special place in my mind.

I had first heard of him as part of The Three Tenors was back when I was still quite young. They had sang for the World Cup ceremony and from then I was hooked. I was in awe of their voices as it was just so amazing.

From all the news reports, he was quite instrumental in bring opera music to the masses due to his collaborations with the current popular artistes. If not for all that, I think I would not have heard of him.

It is most definitely a great loss to the world.

Things might get a little confusing over the next few days.

I have just realized that I have written a lot of blog posts but I never did post them up. And some of these are from months ago.

Therefore, if the timeline sounds strange – it is only due to the fact that I wrote it a while back.

Dear Blog,

I am extremely sorry I have neglected you. But please do not ever imagine that I might have forgotten you. I remember you every night before I go to bed. On my way in, I noticed the cobwebs and dust bunnies hanging around.

Life has been insanely busy thanks to work the last few weeks and it does not seem like it will let up anytime soon. So please do bear with me and I will get cracking on the spring-cleaning soon (hopefully).

Please be patient and I will be back shortly.

Busy until can die,
Alex

P.S. To the two (maybe three) people who reads - Yes, I still alive, I’m sorry for lack of noise from me.
